If you're feeling confused and frustrated about a decline in intimacy in your relationship, you're not alone. And, if you struggle to discuss your sex life with each other -- then, you're also among many couples who share this same dilemma.

In this article, I'll help you understand why emotional intimacy is so important to your relationship, how distance may have started to come between you and I'll share some ideas from my years of helping couples to regain the closeness you once enjoyed.

Unlike other couples-therapy approaches, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy gets to the “heart” of the disconnection and distance between you. We go beneath the surface to discover the unmet needs in the relationship, to heal any past hurts, to resurface the unique strengths of your relationship and to help you understand your partner in a way that helps each of you powerfully reconnect and remain close into the future.

Emotionally Focused Couple therapy offers these unique advantages:

It’s a brief model. Couples usually begin noticing and feeling a difference in the first phase of the process.

You’ll learn that the “negative cycle” of arguing or disconnection is to blame for your disagreements and distance – not either of you!

Change can be lasting. Research shows that many couples report continued improvement after counseling has ended.
